ABANDONED -- animation uploaded --

First topic message reminder :

Hi guys, Here is my first post for this year 2009. some quality loss due to image compression. Done in 3 weeks of spare time. Ill upload the animation soon. textures are procedural and some are unwrapped painted. Used couple of displacements on the scene.Done in 3dmax, vray and PS on final touches.Just check the high resolution images for a more uncompressed quality. Hope you guys will like it







Here are the links of the higher resolution images:

here is the short animation of this project
done in 3d max vray and AE

Sweet. First time lang ako makakita ng ganitong quality sa CGPinoy ah. Best post so far IMO. Is there any chance we could see the animation? Good job sir and do post more

Bigat nito sir....ibang klase talaga, Pinoy na Pinoy ang dating ....can't wait to see the animation....post more sir

very inspirational.. as always..

grabehhh spechless ko...patakdi me imong power bai..

Tao k b sir? hehehe joke love the last image

grabe idol lupit ng mga gawa mo sir... kakainspire kahit nun pa sa cgpinoy

Amazing texture work ryancoy Looking forward to seeing more masterpieces from you!

ganda nga ng texture! realistic na fallout3. ginawa ko nga pala wallpaper yung mga HQ pics heheh if you don't mind bos ry.

san na kaya sila napunta?


oh i see, nabigyan na sila ng bagong pabahay ni noli de castro!!!..

ang galing galing naman!!!


hep hep!!! horeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

idool ka na yata ng lahat ng taga cgp & 3dp..

anu ba pa ang sasabihin ko?
ung sinabi nalang nilang lahat...

LUPPEEETTTTT!!!!

ibang klase ka pinoy..post more sir!

Ang galing mo sir. hanep \m/

5 stars!

master possible ba sa Sketch Up ito?.....Fusion po b ito ng Max at Vray?ang galing kasi eh.

grabe how do you guys do this stuffs?ganda naman nito..ganda pala gumawa sa 3d max (SU user) i think kailangan ko na mag upgrade. Ayos to ah?dami magagaling dito sa CG|Pinoy ah.

eto ang totoong master....10 stars to..lupitttttttttttttt!!!! yu rak talaga bossing!!!!!!

sana makagawa rin ng ganito..heheheheheh nangarap!!!!

bihira lang ako mag comment,,kaya para sa post na to..no comment...

thanks for the replies guys...i just uploaded the short animation for this which you can find here. the short animation is more of experimenting camera movement, particles and effects in 3dmax and in after effects. The animation has a little compression in quality and size.Took me almost a month to finish this on my spare time since my last post. Done on my desktop machine and a laptop. Rendering time per frame was around 5-10 min per frame. Had a lot of post processing and compositing on this.

@Mon Samuel
thanks sa comment. I dont really know much about su but i think not all kaya ng Su. Like uv Unwraps and motion rigging of camera or track curves. I think sa Su is a more direct and illustrative software and not really geared towards film type of production. Just my observation. And yes gawa po it sa Max and vray and AE.

one word. AWESOME.

Saw the anims, ryan - no comment yet except for the cams. There's something weird with the cam hand held effect - perhaps its the noise or the axis placement of the noise, did you separate the noise movement for the cam and target? BTW, since you're compositing in AE - sometimes it helps to do the position wiggle in there so you could always re-edit without much trouble.

One tip for explosions: Add a single frame whiteout when the rocket or asteroid gets in contact with the ground.

Nevertheless its refreshing to see you do some non traditional archi stuff! Looking forward to more of your post.

Good job bro, impressive specially the camera. 2 thumbs up! + 8 fingers...

Here's the direct clip of the movie...

OT:

Sorry for not answering you on time Ryan, I was out from the office .

Hanep coy! ibang klase ka talaga. comment ko lang sa video is yung camera nga like what vertex pointed out and ung isang meteor na baligtad ang approach. by technique is superb. galing din ng burning coy. keep it up bro!

I know you aren't asking for comments but here's something to consider just in case you are thinking of doing part 2.


1. The tip of the asteroid (the bright white) is too concentrated, try to shorten it a bit or allow it to fade a long the trail

2. Add more length to the rear smoke trail and let the density fade out.

3. You might want to add a bright attenuated light on the tip of the asteroid - burning hot objects tend to produce illumination around its immediate surroundings.

3. Since its is hot and burning - you might want to add heat waves - you can do this by using a simple particle point render as a displacement map in after effects.

4. rather than use a 4 point filter (cross filter) a bright anamorphic flare might make this look much better.

5. fume details quite large - this makes the scene look like miniature.

6. Last scene, If the wind blows the bits to the left - then I'd expect the fire to lean on the same direction. Add bits of orangey self illuminated particle dots to simulate the firey bits you'd see when burning wood or combustibles.

got to go,

thanks for the comments

@ vertex wrangler

*thanks for pointing out some things on the scene. Apart from time that i spent on this (roughly less than a month and roughly less than 2 weeks on spare time just to test some effects) i know i had lot to consider since vfx is a whole new world for me. First, the camera was rigged manually in 3dmax since i dont have any available video cam corder to do such camera tracking i know there are couple of important points that needed to be fixed. It was actually multiple helpers with different attributes one of them was having a noise movement and others were manually keyframed then linked back to the original cam.So along the process i know its not that perfect, but still had to give the process a try.

*Next would be the smoke and asteroid simulation. It was done in particles and afterburn, i had to increase step size so as to have a quick render time which will of course give you less detail on the overall quality of the simulation. vertex was right about putting more trail at the tail of the asteroid, which i failed to add on the final composite. My actual simulation angle was correct but when i rendered with AF it turned out to be odd since the asteroid is heading towards the cam. i Know it had to do with the angle. particles generated was already over 1000 at birth and travelled a lot of distance to reach that ground so i had to make it travel shorter so as to provide lesser particle generation. ONE thing that i really failed to do in the whole composite was the illumination of the whole asteroid before it hits the ground. About the heat waves , the whole composite was already crashing on my machine considering the files are sequenced uncompressed pngs and with lots of effects and color manipulations so i was constrained couple of elements along the way, i know it would look good with the waves though a different pass and a displacement effect in AE could provide a more convincing effect, ill remember this on next time though.
Fume details were actually generated through the noise size and density but i need to make sacrifices on details for AF in order to achieve a more faster rendering since it will be very far and added a lot of blurs along the way i was thinking it might do the job, but thanks vertex for pointing it out.

* for the last shot, i did add some random particle motions for the burned objects. It was small horizontal polygons with motion blurs in it. Im not sure if it was convincing but i know i had to add it.

thanks for viewing the animation again

I now have 2 idols in here! Great work bro!
